Police to be contacted about antisemitic Copenhagen mosque sermon

The Jewish Community in Denmark will contact police about an imam at a mosque in Copenhagen's Nørrebro neighbourhood who encouraged attacks on Jews during a Friday service, reports newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad.

The complaint will be based on a video recording of a Friday service at the Masjid al-Faruq mosque in Nørrebro on March 31st this year. The recording was translated from Arabic to English by American institute Memri.

According to the translation, imam Mundhir Abdallah quotes a hadith – a report of a speech by the Prophet Mohammed used in Islamic scripture – which incites violence against Jews.
